Press Release

Sangre y Herencia

Grace Barraza-Vega has been known for organizing art related events in Corpus Christi and in the Valley. Her most recent exhibitions were at the TMC and De la Paloma gallery in Corpus Christi and Chimaya gallery in California. She also exhibited in Saudi Arabia and England. Thematically her works have direction. It is important for her ideas to sprout relevance in her life. Her works carry a notion of who she is as an artist. Ever since her days in Junior High, her interest has grown towards the arts. Where it all began was when she was involved with the higher education program called the Mother and Daughter Program that was sponsored by NASA at the University of Brownville that set an action towards this goal. Her imageries are filled with indigenous genre of people of everyday life. She said that “I am a product of Mestizo Culture.” Not just culture in its influences but other artist has left a mark in Grace’s works as well. Vincent Van Gogh’s expressive color power and Henri Matisse abstracting the form with color both have inspired many artists and Grace is no exception. She said “I look at various masters that I feel had similar emotions and dreams.” Perhaps Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and David Siqueiros had inspired thematically Grace’s works because she is compelled to demonstrate her idea about life through painting. She has exhibited in numerous places such as California, Texas, and New Mexico. Graces Barraza-Vega’s works will be displayed at Gallery 218, “Going Beyond the Visual Spectrum on Saturday, September 18, 2010 from 7:00 PM until 11:00PM. Alan Duval’s band from Brownsville will be playing his classic rock. For more Information, contact Anna Marie Varela at (956) 457-9401 or Benjamin Varela (956) 457-4093.
